If Trump can cut that Gordian knot, then you'd have a cheaper and better federal bureaucracy.

My agency is sorely under staffed and many of us are doing 2 people’s jobs. I work extra unpaid hours every week just to get the work done because I had to absorb the duties of someone who left. You sound hateful and ignorant.

You're probably doing 2 people's jobs because your agency is full of people doing between 0.0 and 0.5 jobs. What is your agencies budget compared to five years ago?

Senior leaders, the people on the chopping block here, are the ones that prioritize pet projects and protecting poor performers. You should be blaming them for being over-worked.

Bingo. Short of sexual harassment or losing their clearance it’s impossible to remove dead weight.

False. I've definitely seen federal employees get fired for less.
As usual the people who have so much to say don't actually know the facts.

This! There might have been dead weight decades ago but the agencies I’ve worked at are very lean. Now with boomers retiring, it’s pretty painful.

Boomers retiring and Millennials having better options. They don’t need the health insurance because most companies provide that benefit and those that do not have access to the ACA.

Most of my team are millennials. But I think because of the decades spent slamming the government, folks don’t want to work for it.

Including FBI, CIA, NSA? And stop sharing intelligence info with our allies? It doesn’t make sense. The US and our allies are under constant threat of terrorist attacks. We already know Iran has infiltrated or even outright lead some of the Palestinian protests. The US would be a lot less safe if their plan went through.
